Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

Hello! Sorry for my late feedback - I was the whole week on a business trip. Thanks for your comments! I try to answer you questions: Is that heel strong enough? Real life testing is still open, but I hope for the best :) I'll give you an update, when I got the test results. And is the shoe flexible...

Hi! I'd like to show you my latest project: Custom 3D Printed High Heels for my wife! At the beginning I tried to design the high heels from scratch, but figured out fast, that it is quite complicate to model such a complex 3D-shape like a shoe, without any template. So I took an old good fitting hi...

The heat could make it go soft or distort.

No problems so far.

My configuration for printing ABS with a 0,4m nozzle is the following: Cold Zone 2,5mm Transition Zone Heater Block Hex Nut Hex Nut [img]http://abload.de/img/wp_20151205_14_09_18_nesqd.jpg[/img] I use 1,5mm retraction @60mm/s. I print up to 100mm/s (but usually slower). I use the stock extruder of R...

Just install a Prometheus V2 and be happy

Got from 3mm to 1mm retraction, with my 100mm Bowden-Setup.

(This is what I did recently)

Not sure if I remember right, was it version 91, where it should be possible to tune the Z-Position on the fly (while printing)?
How is this supposed to work? (I could not really find a menu entry for it..)
Thx!

Huhu!

Hallo Sascha,

viel Erfolg!

Yes, it is. Get it above 40deg Celsius now.

Totally! The rubber band solution was working great at the beginning, but they wore out over time, so I upgraded to the counterweight solution. DSCF1004.jpg DSCF1003.jpg A plastic coated metal string is running over two ball bearing down to a moving weight. The extruder is now really "flying&qu...

Extruder maybe?

As glue.


(Sorry, haven't read your question..)

I'm serious!

I tried hairspray, kapton and ABS glue, but this worked best for me.

Parts popp off at around 70°C. Heatbed can be cleaned with water from time to time.

For me the best is still: 2/3 beer + 1/3 isopropyl alcohol
Heatbed at 120°C.

I have no problem with wearing a tie from time to time. But not every day in the office.

Yes. Not unusual these days

I'm still young and refuse to wear a full suite for every slightly more important occasion

Thanks so far.

But I need something I can wear in the office...sometimes also with a jacket.

Hi! One year ago I was in San Francisco and bought 4 Levis jeans (for a good price). Today, 3 of them have holes at strategic inadequate positions. Very bad quality. In 1 month I'll be in Washington DC and because jeans (clothing in general?) are in Europe much more expensive, I plan to buy some new...

I think it's warped now. I was missing 3DOF at the calibration variables, so I added them in hardware
Probably not the most elegant solution but it's working...

I mentioned this problem earlier and solved it by adding 3 screws at positions A, B and C:

PLA is more flexible and for some applications this is desirable. It can also handle a bit more heat than PLA. Meant probably ABS. http://www.makeitfrom.com/compare-materials/?A=Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene-ABS&B=Polylactic-Acid-PLA-Polylactide" onclick="window.open(this.href);retu...

Could be too little current or overheating of the stepper driver as well. -> Missing steps.

Try 2/3 beer and 1/3 Isopropyl alcohol.
My parts stick quite good! (Also my bedtemp is 120°C [24V power supply])
Other advantages: Easy cleaning with water, skincontact is no problem ...and it smells good

Probably better to speak Englisch ;) Yes, PLA is less stable then ABS but ABS shrinks more, so it is not so good for large prints. I live now 3km north of Schweinfurt. I have a RMax of the first Indiegogo-Genereation but with some modifications (http://forum.seemecnc.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=128...

Hallo Chris!

Viel Erfolg
Wirst wohl bei PLA als Material landen.

Hello! With some calibration I was able to even out my calibration problems. Now I have: X: = Y: = Z: = Centre: = X to Y: = v = Y to Z: = v = Z to X: = v = This means: Everything levelled, except constant dips of around 0.2mm between the towers.
